Glorious run through a beautiful sleeping city and the chance to watch the first light of 2025 shine through the fog from one of my favourite places. Am I a morning person in 2025? Special mention to winter in the Rockies for making running at 2 degrees with no altitude a breeze! 🥰🥰🥰
This day deserves a full series!

Happy 30th to my girl @vyshi26 ! Even though it’s been over a decade since we lived in the same city, the sisterhood we formed in childhood is strong and will remain forever! Your perseverance and dedication to your craft and your loved ones never ceases to amaze me. I am so proud of you!!! Love ya!!!
It’s my girl’s 30th birthday! I have been honoured to spend the last 20 years by her side! She is one of the greatest constants in my life, one of the best teachers I’ve had and one of the most genuine people I know. @caely_ste I am so proud of the amazing woman you are and look forward to growing together for the rest of our lives!! You’re lucky they only allow 10 pics in a post cos I really went through the vault and there was some good teen material!! Hehe love you!!!!
